Best nandos I've been to. Love the staff, they make it extra special over and above other nandos restaurants.

We made a booking for 9people and I had to call and postpone the booking as it took us ages to get out of the house with kids and a lady on the phone told us that there's no problem and they'll keep our table. Had a warm welcome once we arrived and all staff was patient with us as we had a huge order.
We were struggling to take a picture of our family and one of the guys with a beard ran up to us and offered to take a picture for us.

Well, I had butterfly chicken and chips and to be honest with you it was like a 5 year olds meal, like come on I want to be full and satisfied. It was my first time going there on my birthday as well and it wasnt as cheeky as I thought it would be. The reason for it not being cheeky enough is because of the size meal and because I had to share a plate with my mate for dessert. I know nandos likes the whole 'sharing caring' but come on, how do you run out of plates at a restaurant.

This restaurant is located bang in the middle of the city centre shopping area - meaning it is within all the shops etc. You're also only about half mile walk away from the sea front, the barbican and the Hoe! This also means Barbican Leisure Park, which has a Tenpin Bowling Alley, Vue Cinema and Nuffield Gym (and the other Nando's) is also about 15 minute walk away. The aquarium is also here.

Plymouth train station is about half a mile walk from Nando's as well.

My second visit to this store, Whilst I don't normally re review I felt I ought to with this store as the first time they had only just opened.
Got there quite late in the day but was shocked how empty the store was, a few people were sat around the tables outside in the shopping street just to the north of st.Andrews cross. Upon entering I noticed there were very few people inside. We received a very warm welcome from the greeter and was taken to the table of our choice.

Amazing, as per. Always happy to help, some staff have changed from Exeter/Barbican Nandos so full of familiar faces. Extremely tasty chicken and cheesecake. Leaving me with a massive craving right now...

Was only customer in this new 2 story store at the heart of Plymouth near to Drakes circus shopping centre. The manager has to approve stamp redemtions so a little wait at the till. Very clean, infact most staff were cleaning. Good mix of booths and tables plus long table down the middle with breakers along it containing mix of sauces so you don't need to go to sauce and bev station (of which there is one on each floor) Toilets upstairs were bland but clean with hexagonal tiles for a change.
